Giants @ Bengals Game Thread

[HoosierCat]

Not that it fukking matters at this point, but who do they put in at QB next week? Finley is trash on fire. Anyone sitting at home on the couch worth signing? I don’t even know who’s available...

[Stripes]

Estimated probability I watch this game:

-17.8%

[UK Bengal]

well one name I would like to see us go for Kap but i doubt Tobin or brown have the balls

 

[COB]

Two teams.  Both with franchise saviors sitting at home with torn ACLs.  
 

Seriously don’t care if we win.  If there’s hope for the #1 pick, go ahead with tank 2.0, get a haul of picks for the Lawrence pick, use them to scratch and claw to a .475 win percentage, expand the whole Bengals’ operation so that anyone with even 12% or more of Mike’s DNA has a job here.  Great success!

[HoosierCat]

Might as well move the injury talk over here. This seems slightly hopeful.

Unfortunately Taylor and Fat Randy are also flying home with the team...

[COB]

The Bengals’ jet will fly at 35,000 feet, Burrow will be at about 60,000 feet.

[AMPHAR]

That’s one uncomfortable flight 

[COB]

Damn right they want to get Joe back to Cincy.

 

 

[HoosierCat]

Betting line opens with Cincy as 5-point home dogs.

[HoosierCat]

FWIW. Not much new, more a recap of events, but yeah, I don’t doubt that the locker room isn’t rainbows and unicorn ponies right now.

 

[COB]

“Abusive language towards players” is a synonym for “Jim Turner.”

[COB]

Just read that si.com piece.  Complete takedown of the staff and resulting culture.  What a mess.  

[HoosierCat]

I want to preface this by emphasizing that this is *just me* and my opinion/impression and it’s perfectly fine if it isn’t shared by anyone else.

I think this coaching staff, or at least the top post-Marvin guys, is a bunch of assholes.

Everything we hear about Turner and Anarumo is more or less about what level of dick they are. Meanwhile Taylor strikes me as more and more of a smug prick with each passing week. I can’t even watch the postgame interviews because I just get mad I can’t punch his increasingly punchable face.

Again, just me. YMMV.

[COB]

Have to agree with all of the above.

[HoosierCat]

Oh and then there was this yesterday. You go Billy!

 

[HoosierCat]

Oh joy.

Yup.

He’s not wrong tho.

Glancing through Lance's media, came across this list of QBs who've had torn ACLs:  

 

Tom Brady, Carson Palmer (2), Philip Rivers, DeShaun Watson, Carson Wentz, Ryan Tannehill, Donovan McNabb, Jimmy Garoppolo

Correct. People need to sack up. This happens. And qbs recover and are just as good as before.

[AMPHAR]

It’s a self fulfilling prophecy for some Bengal fans.... see I told you he would get injured. I told you they’d ruin his career. 

Reality is there wasn’t a whole lot of pressure in that game and the injury wasn’t the result of bad o-line play. 
 

The rest is just noise.  

[HoosierCat]

So the Lions fired Matt Patricia today.

Looking ahead, Zac would need to go 9-8 over his next 17 games...just to reach the same record Patricia was fired for.
